Comment (by mordauk):

 [25120] is certainly a welcomed addition, though I don't think it's an
 adequate resolution for the original issue here.

 While it's true that the network admin menu does provide a short cut to
 the network plugins page now, the lack of an "Add New" under the main
 Plugins menu for super admins still seems strange to me. It doesn't seem
 nearly as intuitive to have to go to the Network menu in order to find the
 plugins installation page.

 Earlier, Nacin mentioned that one of the reasons for not having it is
 because it's not inherently apparent that installing a plugin does so for
 the entire network, and I definitely don't disagree with that, but I would
 argue that it's also not inherently apparent that an admin has to go to
 the network admin in order to install plugins.

 By allowing super admins to access the plugin installer from any site, and
 in the same location as is standard for non-multi site installs, the
 plugin install process becomes more intuitive.

 I feel that the "Network Active" link provided after installing a plugin
 is sufficient to alert the admin that the plugin is going to be activated
 for the entire network.
